Delicious Pink

-
I think I must love pink.
My eldest son made a remark yesterday about how much pink there was in the room. It took me by surprise, "what pink?"
Did he mean the fluffy fairy lights I have hanging in the window?Or did he mean the other fairy lights I have in a vase?
Maybe he meant the pink chair? Oh look! there a pink glass bottle there too.I think he must have been referring to the little room where we keep the washing machine and tumble dryer - silly me!
I must admit after all this evidence I do have a partiality for bright pink, after all I did buy some more pink wool for my crocheted blanket. It really is as bright as it looks here!
Have I been painting recently?
Yes I have. This is a bath panel and I'm using acrylic paints. I'm finding it difficult because I haven't used them properly on a big painting for about 2 years. I've got so used to small watercolours that it's like learning all over again!

I love all the pink you have in your room! I'm a pink fan - not the soft, muted pinks, but the strong ones like in your pictures! And that's going to be a fun painting!! :) Silke

Have to say I'm not the biggest fan of pink, but each to his own! That's a pretty huge painting your're working on there Jess - you'll soon get back into the swing of it. :)

Hahaha...this cracks me up! Pink is always a dilemma, isn't it? It's pretty, but you don't want people to think you're too girlie. It's sweet, but too much sweetness makes the boys cringe! So good for you, Jess, if you love it, I say show it off!! (^__^) oxx

Thanks Gretel, it's taking me a while, I'm so rusty it's like starting for the first time! It's interesting how different peole have different preferences isn't it? I wonder how our preferences develop?

Thanks Karen, yes it is! I've been wanting to paint on it for years and thought "right then NOW is the time!"

Sounds like a very good idea Owen!

Thanks Amalia, I have a frend who refuses to wear any pink whatsoever out of principle. What a shame I say! :o)

Hehe...I love all your pink things :) Especially all the fairy lights...a house needs plenty of fairy lights!

Great idea to paint the bath panel too! :)

Btw...I'd be more than happy to pull a tarot card for you hon :)
Do you want me to send you the reading privately? Ans do you have a question, or is it just a 'what do I need to know at this time?' question? :)

More Cottages During Lockdown and a Change in Medium.

I've been thinking about why I'm drawing cottages lately.  Maybe it's because there aren't many people around where we live and on our daily walks we rarely come across anyone else which I suppose is a good thing as we're still in Lockdown and have to practice Social Distancing which has now become a very well used phrase in our language! Maybe it's this lack of seeing people around that my mind is turning towards houses and flowers? The ones above are done in ink. I love the pearlescent inks, they're so beautiful when they catch the light. The paintings above and below are painted in acrylic. I've been obsessed with watercolour for a few weeks but I felt I'd like to get some acrylics out again. I've always been like this, going through phases of being obsessed with a particular medium thinking yes this is it! This is my final medium and then finding myself being drawn to changing once again to a different way of wor...
